A Baker\u27s Dozen of Top Antimicrobial Stewardship Intervention Publications in 2017

With an increasing number of antimicrobial stewardship-related articles published each year, attempting to stay current is challenging. The Southeastern Research Group Endeavor (SERGE-45) identified antimicrobial stewardship-related peer-reviewed literature that detailed an actionable intervention for 2017. The top 13 publications were selected using a modified Delphi technique. These manuscripts were reviewed to highlight the actionable intervention used by antimicrobial stewardship programs to provide key stewardship literature for training and teaching and identify potential intervention opportunities within their institutions

Effects of staff education and standardizing dosing and collection times on vancomycin trough appropriateness in ward patients

Background: Many institutions have guidelines for initiation and monitoring, but not timing, of vancomycin.Objective: Our objective was to evaluate vancomycin trough collection appropriateness before and after an initiative to change the dosing and trough collection times in ward patients.Methods: A retrospective cohort study of ward patients from May 2014-16 who received scheduled intravenous vancomycin was performed. Nurse managers and pharmacists provided staff education. Differences between pre- and post-intervention groups were compared using student's t-test for continuous data and chi-square test for categorical data.Results: Baseline characteristics were similar between the pre-intervention (n=124) and post-intervention (n=122) groups except for weight-based maintenance dose (15.3 mg/kg vs. 16.5 mg/kg, p=0.03) and percentage of troughs collected with morning labs (14% vs. 87%, p<0.001). Patients in the pre- and post-intervention groups received a similar frequency of loading doses (14.5% vs. 16%, p=0.68). There was no significant difference in percentage of vancomycin troughs collected appropriately at 30 (40% vs. 42%, p=0.72), 60 (57% vs. 63%, p=0.35), or 75 (60% vs. 68%, p=0.22) minutes from the scheduled time of the next dose.Conclusion: Staff education and standardizing collection of vancomycin troughs with morning blood collections did not affect the percentage of appropriately collected vancomycin troughs

S-23 Geologic Map of Minnesota - Quaternary Geology

Scale 1:500,000. Compiled and edge-matched mapping from 1:100,000 scale MGS Quaternary maps, then simplified for printing. The complete database (d-1) contains lines, labels and polygons that will be updated as new MGS mapping becomes available. This database is available to the general public as an ESRI Story Map (https://mngs-umn.opendata.arcgis.com/) and can be downloaded or new maps produced online, but is not editable.There are no GIS files associated with this compilation. It was made for printing and visualization. GIS files are available with the detailed digital database D-1 at the MGS Data Portal -- https://mngs-umn.opendata.arcgis.com/ and are not available in this archive. S-23 compiles new and previously published geologic mapping to show the surficial sediments in Minnesota as a printable !:500,000 scale version. In contrast to Hobbs and Goebel (1982), where map colors indicated provenance, on this map unit colors refer to texture: green for diamicton interpreted to be till, red/orange for sand and gravel-dominated sediments, and blue for silt and clay. Glacial sediments were mapped using lithostratigraphic formation names of Johnson and others (2016) and references therein. Post glacial and proglacial sediments were named for their genesis. Peat is shown in Figure 1. Modern lake sediment is not shown here. Refer to Figure 2 for the location of major provenances and the names and extent of ice lobes during the late Wisconsinan glaciation. Unless otherwise noted, the two-letter map-unit abbreviation indicates diamicton interpreted to be till of a particular formation. The addition of a third letter indicates associated sediments.U. S.
